Vertaalapps gaan de mist in met metaforen en dat gaat ons allemaal aan
Computers vinden het moeilijk om metaforen te vertalen. Taalkundige Lettie Dorst onderzoekt wanneer dit tot problemen leidt.

Emily M. Bender en Alex Hanna: βZeg nee tegen de AI-hypeβ
Met hun boek 'The AI Con' willen ze tonen hoe we ons kunnen verzetten tegen de hypemachine van Big Tech.
AI is een buiten alle proportie opgeklopte hype. Meer nog: het is een zwendel die vooral een beperkt clubje rijk maakt. Dat is de boodschap van onderzoekers @emilymbender.bsky.social en @alexhanna.bsky.social.
Maar: βOnderschat nooit de kracht van βneenβ zeggenβ.
